Abstract
A travel controller includes: an information acquisition part configured to acquire braking state information of a braking device brake state, travel road information, and an ACC-ECU configured to perform travel, based on a set vehicle speed, and follow-up travel control under which the subject vehicle follows another vehicle traveling ahead thereof. After canceling activation of the travel control during the activation of the travel control, when the information acquisition part acquires travel road information showing that a travel road on which the subject vehicle is traveling is not a downhill road any longer, even if a braking performance index based on the braking state information acquired by the information acquisition part is not increased with respect to a second reference threshold, then the ACC-ECU allows the travel control activation to be resumed.
